Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1980, vol. 31, issue 3, 215-216

Abstract: Reported differences in summary data between two studies dealing with the citation of old papers are examined. No statistically significant differences were discovered using a t test of means and a liberal type I error level. The practical versus the statistical significance of examining extremely small differences between the two means of the two studies is discussed and an estimator of the size of effect being tested for is computed.
